Mechanical and Materials Sciences and Engineering - Harvard University

Mechanical and Materials Sciences and Engineering from Harvard University is a Campus Bachelor Materials Science degree that prepares you for a Science career. In addition to basic courses on the mechanical and thermal properties of solids and fluids, Mechanical Engineering encompasses a range of narrower topics: computer-aided design (CAD) and computer-aided manufacturing (CAM), robotics, and manufacturing. Undergraduates participate actively in hands-on laboratories and in research and design activities that use up-to-date equipment and facilities. True to DEAS's interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary approach, mechanical engineering allows students to incorporate elements of biomechanics and bioelectricity, which some students pursue within the context of biomedical sciences and engineering. Materials science is an integral part of a mechanical engineer's curriculum. It embraces topics ranging from solid and fracture mechanics (what factors determine how materials crack, creep, and fail and how we can design and synthesize better structural materials and composites) to atomic-scale studies of condensed-matter physics (what atomic and molecular factors dictate the macroscopic properties of materials and how we can fabricate, sometimes one atomic layer at a time, materials with special properties for special purposes.) As a student in Mechancial and Materials Science Engineering you can ... -Take courses in dynamics, fluids, materials, solids, and thermodynamics that form the core of mechanical engineering and related engineering fields such as aerospace and civil engineering -Study mechanical engineering topics such as computer-aided design (CAD), computer aided manufacturing (CAM), and robotics -Participate in hands-on lab work and do research with state-of-the-art equipment and facilities -Explore elements of biomechanics and bioelectricity View more details on Harvard University .
